33rd Annual Great Chefs of Long Island

A Night Seasoned With Purpose

Thanks to all who attended the 33rd Annual Great Chefs of Long Island on Monday, March 23, 2026, at Crest Hollow Country Club in Woodbury, from 5:30pm-9:00pm. This annual tasting event celebrates the best cuisine on Long Island while simultaneously raising funds and awareness for the 60,000 children, seniors and families we assist annually. This year, we were so thrilled to honor our President & CEO Karen Boorshtein with the Legacy of Service Award. 

For over 30 years, Karen Boorshtein has been a driving force behind Family Service League's mission, guiding the organization's growth and expanding its impact across Long Island.

Under her leadership, FSL strengthened critical mental health, substance use, housing, and crisis services, ensuring individuals and families receive care when they need it most. Her collaborative approach has built strong partnerships across the community, ensuring that FSL remains responsive, innovative, and grounded in the real needs of those it serves.

As Karen prepares for her retirement, Family Service League proudly honors her career and legacy at Great Chefs. This evening celebrates her decades of service, her advocacy, and the difference she has made in the lives of so many across Long Island.
